･ApriAttenda ver.2. On February 6th 2009, Toshiba unveiled ApriAttenda ver.2.
The biggest improvement over the earlier model is the inclusion of two arms, both of which have 3-fingered hands with which the robot can grasp simple objects, such as specially designed food trays and handles. It operates on AIST’s Open-HRP3 robot middleware. The original ApriAttenda could follow a person around, presumably to keep an eye on them or your house while away.
The new version is designed to take a much more active role, helping out the old and infirm around the home, moving about on wheels. Bandit_pioneer3. Plastic Pals - Robots who are fun to be with!
